Bird Syntax Error #28

Closed jaredthecoder closed 6 years ago

jaredthecoder commented 6 years ago

Hi,

After starting my muxes with peering openvpn up MUX for every mux listed in peering openvpn status, I then run peering bgp start.

However, it then returns this error: bird: /home/user/peering/client/configs/bird/bird.conf, line 9: syntax error

In configs/bird/bird.conf, the error is the first table line:

log "var/bird.log" all;

table rtup;
table igptable;
...

The output of bird --version: BIRD version 2.0.2

I am running on Arch Linux, Kernel 4.15.13-1-ARCH. I installed Bird with pacman -Sy bird.

The documentation does not state which bird version you are using. I believe that is the issue.

Jared,

Thanks you for submitting the issue. There were major revisions to the BIRD source code and configure format in 2.0+. Our configs are formatted for pre-2.0. If you are able to install v1.6.4, it should work fine.

I was able to and that was the issue. Thanks! I will make a PR specifying that in the docs.
